The Tulane Green Wave is looking to salvage what it can of a rough season as it hits the road to take on the Rice Owls.

Tulane had a historically bad showing in a 60-10 loss to the Tulsa Golden Hurricane, with all 10 of those points coming when the game was far out of reach in the fourth quarter. It was an exceptionally bad day on both sides of the ball and left little encouragement that the team can do much more to finish out the year.

However, the Green Wave has a chance to bounce back this season against Rice, the worst team in the entire American Conference. The Owls have struggled to a 1-8 overall record and are winless in league play. It's going to take a much better performance than Tulane has shown in quite some time, but that type of win would give the program a much-needed boost.

Here's a look at three offensive players who have a chance to make the most noise for the Olive Green and Sky Blue. 

Daniels typically lands on this list, as he's been the most consistent rusher on the team.

The running back was a bit more limited against the Golden Hurricane, but he still mustered up 49 yards and 10 carries. Daniels is up to 542 rushing yards and six touchdowns, with much of that production coming in the month of October -- even as the team had its fair share of difficulties. 

Though this is his first season in Uptown, the redshirt senior has demonstrated that he can be an exceptional leader for the program. He's going to need to continue to carry the load through the final weeks of the year.

Hill is the team's leading receiver, and he's been a favorite target for quarterback Trace Johnson. 

Though he didn't record a touchdown against Tulsa, Hill still led the team with 55 yards on four receptions. He's taken on the type of roll that many expected to when he joined the program in the offseason, and though he undoubtedly hopes that the season would've gone better, he's still had a chance to make his mark in New Orleans.

Hill needs another big game if his team is going to win this weekend. Expect him to give it his all in the Lone Star State.

As a redshirt freshman, Dugar hasn't received much significant playing time this year.

However, the running back found a way to make some contributions against Tulsa, finishing the day with 22 yards on five carries. Dugar's average of 4.4 yards per carry were second on the team, and it was a promising showing from one of the youngest players on the field. 

There's no guarantee that Dugar will receive quite as much of an opportunity this weekend, but in all honesty, he deserves as much of a chance as anyone. When given the chance, there's no doubt that he's going to fight his hardest to earn a more prominent role.
